GEN. Buffers Fsvorite Theme.

Gen. Ben F. Butler has one subject that the
reporters can always find him ready to talk
about, and that is yachting. No matter how
tusy he is be will put aside business q few
moments to converse on his favorite theme.
He Is as familiar q figure at the Fifth Avenue
hotel $50 old timers sayl a. was Horace Gree
ley, who frequently stopped there. Gen.
Butler has q faithful colored servant who
rarely ever leaves his side, no matter where
he goes This colored man pays the bills for
the general wherever they happen TO stop,
and sees that various and sundry people do
not intruds upon the aged lawyer. A re-
porter not long ago sent his card up to But
Ter. He sent word that be was too busy to
be interviewed; besides be did not care to
talk politics The reporter sent his card
back with this written on it: General, de-
sire to ask you something about your yacht

less to say that the reporter was given val

"Do you remember" said one Of the COM
pany, "when the Al Dagger and the Willie
Kleinz were the up and down champions Of
the fifteen feet open boats, as they called
them thels They had many races, and as
rule the Kleinz came out winner; in fact,
she was the fastest boat Of her class on the
river, and 1t got to be so that after while
nobody would race with her. Well, one time
she and the Dagger were racing, and the wind
died out entirely, and the tide was about on
the turn. The men in the Kleinz noticed,
much to their s1rprisa that tha Dagger Eas
moving along, slowly, to be sure, but fast
enough to put all idea Of their winning out OF
the question. They knew the Dagger was fast,
but how any boat could sail without wind or
tide was beyond their ken They also noticed
that there was a man in a boat about 200
yards ahead of the Dagger, but did not con-
meet that fact with the race, wherein they
were wrong, because this same man In the
row boat had great deal to do with the re-
suit, and in this way when the wind died out
this same man and boat passed the Dagger,
and as be did so dropped spool Of silk into
her. One end of the silk be made fast to his
boat and the other was attached to the Dagger.
When the silk was all paid out he began an
easy stroke Of the oars and the silk was
strong enough to pull the Dagger along with
out breaking, while the Kleinz was left
standing still
@Yes heard of that trick, }" responded an
other Of the company, @and it reminds me Of
another that was so famous in its day. I
mean the habit the crews Of some Of the
tuck ups ased to have Of each man provid-
ing himself with pie plate which he
stuffed into the bosom Of his shirt II the
wind died out the pie plates were then
brought into requisition as paddles Il the
referee noticed the trick and warned them
about it the plates would Be dropped into the
river and the hands held aloft In innocent
protest have seen this done many times
and always successfully, for the plates being
held on the edge would sink to the bottom as
soon as released and no sign Of their presence
be left. ft."-"Observer" in Philadelphis Call

THE statement of imports and ex
ports issued by the Treasury Departs
ment, shows that the imports of wool
are constantly on the increase, while the
exports of the same article are falling
off to Insignificant figures. The import
of wool for the month of June for this
year amounted to II PAT, 1854 pounds.val
ued at SI.7Ol .145, against 8,6S7, 1852 lbs,
valued at 1898 ,949 for the corresponding
month of 1886. The exports for the
same month were 1SO.7e9 pounds, val
ued at S34,357 for the present year,
against 3.2O4,356 pounds, valued at
$349,965 last year. This shows how
rapidly the wool industry is vanishing
from this country. 1t is estimated that
since the tariff of 1867 was reduced four
years ago, the number of sheep has de-
creased nearly six millions in the Unit
ed States, while statistics show that the
imports for the month of June this
year omounted to about 40 per cent
more than the imports for the entire
year of 1888; therefore the reduction of
the tariff took effect. And yet in spite
Of all these discouragiDg reports, word
is given out that the administration in
tends to advocate a still further reduc
ton of the tariff the coming winter all
along the line. The effort was made
last congress to place wool upon the
free list. and this is what will be done
during the coming session.-Wash. Cor.

PIANOS TO RENT.

An Industry Which Is Growing and the
Secret of Ultimate Sale.
A dealer the other day estimated that 1O0,-
900 families Of this city and Brooklyn possess
pianos "All of these,n ne said, "are not
owned by the holders OF late years there
has been great demand for pianos to hire.
One store in Brooklyn makes that branch Of
the business speciality They charge for
the loan Of piano from 50 to Sc a month
and 81 up for an organ The profit is unu-
sually great and 1 am surprised that other
dealers do not confins themselves TO that
trade. You must not think, either, that
those who hire pianos are poor. They are Of
the middle class and do not at first relish the
idea of purchasing an instrument out and
out. 1t is only when the instrument has
been in the house four or five weeks that the
thought Of purchasing it enters the mind Of
the father Of the family. After he has paid
six or seven installments Of 50 cash, he begins
to think the hiring principle is little too az
pensive, and threatens to return It Then the
best friend OF the dealer-the young lady Of the
household-steps forward and enters protest.
She remarks that her education will be sadly
neglected if he returns 1t. Her chances
in'life, too, demand little consideration, she
pleads. II those protests do not carry the
day she utters another which sweeps the deck
and shakes the very backbone Of her parent
What will the neighbors say she inquiries.
if it is carted away! 1 know; they win say
it was taken away for debt or something Ike
that Would you like Mrs Smith next door
to speak like thatP Conviction that she Is
right enters his soul, she wins the day and re-
tains the piano.
Sin few weeks after that, or whenever
opportunity occurs, she argues with her parent
that it would be money saved to buy the in
strument He puts his foot down on the
proposition, but a woman's a woman, and
after she has begged and coaxed he generally
admits by purchasing the piano that she has
financial blood in her young veins. OF course
the money that he has paid for the renting of
the forte is taken into consideration when he
decides to buy, the dealer invariably making
a reduction big one if q great many IN
stallments have been paid, and small one If
only few have been met.
''No, the dealer has no security against
loss, and a dishonest person could, by remov
ing to another residence after nightfall, con-
fscate the property if he chose. When .
forte is leased regular contract is drawn up.
It contains some binding clauses, but beyond
that there is nothing TO hold The dealers ara
sometimes victimized, but not often.n

Grains of Gold.

We are martyrs to our own faults.
Every one must think in his own way.
Good nature is one of the grandest of
virtues.
A defect will more quickly take the
eye than merit.
Notifications are often more painful
than real calsmities.
Each day brings to US all some oppor-
tunity of doing good
Blowing is not playing the flute; you
must use your fingers.
A great mistake: To hold oneself too
high, and rate oneself too cheap.
The more you murmur against your
cross, the greater its burden will be.
A sympathy with the pains and pleas
ures of others is the foundation of our
social virtues.
Narrow minded people have not a
thought beyond the sphere of their own
vision.
To strike or punish child when you
are angry is far greater offense against
God than blasphemy.
Religion presents few difficulties to
the humble, many to the proud, and in
snperable ores to the vain.
By the time we are shorn of our bad,
foolish, or loaferish habits, there is but
little left of some of us.
Humility, sweet as it may be as a
trait of character. may degenerate into
vice, If not upheld by self-respect.
The man who has things his own way
of others, to walk in the best.
When a peach tree has more fruit
than it can ripen, 1t quietly drops the
weakest, as man should drop his bad
habits in order to ripen the good.
Man is not born to solve the problem
of the universe. but to find out what he
has to do, and to restrain himself with>
in the limits of his comprehension.
The best of book is not the thought
which it contains. but the thought which
it suggests; just as the charm of music
dwells not in the tones, but In the eeb'
oes of our hearts.
The sphere of our affections is one In
which We are very apt to expect too
much from others, and thus to cause
bitterness and often enlargement.
Where we love we naturally crave to be
loved; but this craving. If not regulated
by reason, Is very likely to blossom into
selfish oppression.

The ..Nsrer Go Hnme..n

There used to meet In a beer csllar not
mile from Washington square company Of
merry young fellows who called themselves
the "Nsver Go Homes.n They were all good
boys, hard workers and jolly fellows Every
Saturday evening during the summer they
would charter cabin sloop, provision her
hberally with cold provender and combusti-
bles and go sailing down the bay or up the
river till Monday. One Sunday was COM
ing up from Staten Island in cat boat. Is
had been a red hot, showery day and the air
was like steam We passed sloop at anchor
which hailed US by name. It seemed to be
manned by negroes, all in blue shirts. When
we ran up to her the complexions Of the
crew resolved themselves into fine, deep in
digo. They were the Never Go Homes"
On their way to the dock the evening before
they had come across q lot Of tempting blue
flannel shirts in Bleecker street Cheap John
shop and had invested in one apiece The
rain and the perspiration had brought the
dye out, and as they had not enough fresh
water aboard to wash in, they wore their
uniform till they landed They never thought
of losing their days fun in the interest Of
their skins.-Alfred Trumble in New York
News

Mr.. JOHN P. ST. JOHN is open to en-
gagements, as usual, at $50 night for
alleged prohibition addresses. He has
just filled three engagements in Massa
chusetts, and be says that he is engaged
for seventeen nights in New York and
Pennsylvania. Then he goes to CALI
fornia. He adds: I'VE are fighting the
Republican party now" Exactly, that
is what st. John is doing; and as the Re-
publican party is in the minority in
Texas, not making it worth while for
anybody to pay for speeches against it
there, st. John did his talking In Massa-
chusetts. But there was lively prohi>
bition canvass in Texas all the same, and
there is one now in Tennessee, which
votes on the question In September. st.
John does his hard work in States like
Maine, where prohibition has existed
for over quarter of a century. but
where the Republican party is in the
majority.

Mr. CLENEMAND experiences more
difficulty in whipping Indiana into line
than in making any other State do its
duty. 1t will be remembered that not
long ago a lot of Hoosier Democratic
editors got together and spplauded an
address by one of their number in which
the President was numerically scored.
Not only did they applaud him while
the speech was being delivered, but
they passed a vote of thanks on its con-
clusion. Now we have report of an
other meeting in Indiana meeting of
tanners this time. This meeting sets
forth the fact that the people of the
United States never promised to pay
their President $4,000 q month while
eleetioneering for second term of Office
and by resolution calls upon Mr.. CleVe-
land to write out his resignation and
file Il with the proper officer at WASH
ingt9n before entering on bis pending
electioneering tour through the West
and South That this action may be
sure to reach the President the officers
of the meeting we're instructed to for
ward certified copy of the resolutions
by registered letter to the White House.
1t must not be presumed that the Farm
ers' Alliance of Floyd county, Indiana,
is Republican organization. 1t is
body of agriculturists fairly representa-
tive of the county. which has three
Democratic voters to two Republicans.
The farmers merely believe that Mr..
Clevelsnd's order to public officials to
refrain from activity in politics should
extend to the President himself, and
thst he should not, while holding Office
electoneer for a second term. 1t is
needless to say that Mr.. Cleveland will
pay no attention to the Floyd county
farmers demand The incident, how
ever, shows that Mr. Cleveland Is not
quite as universally popular as his or
gans would make the country believe.

THERE was good deal of Democratic
monkeying in Kentucky with the bal
lots. There is no law there, such as
there is in Ohio, regulating the form of
the ballot. In many places the Repub>
lican ticket was forged, and people who
could not read voted the Democratic
ticket, supposipg they were voting for
the other side. The average Democrat
ic manager has no respect for the puri-
ty of the ballot. Carry the election
honestly if you can, but carry 1t, is their
motto. Notwithstanding the Demo-
cratic party is badly shaken up in Ken
lucky, Bradley scared them, and he
should be Governor-elect of Kentucky.
With fair vote and an honest count, he
would have carried the state. But
wait until next year.

A FEW nights ago the Progress, we'll
known lake boat, was making for the
OoklaLd (Mich) wharf, when it was no.
ticed that the signals from the pilot
house Were all awry. The crew was
aware that L. B. Goldsmith, the boats
crew, who only lacked a few months Of
being fourscore years old. was at his
place, whence flashed the misleading
lights and whence sounded the wrong
bells. One of their number hurried to
their pilot house to discover the cause,
where he found the old man sitting bolt
upright with one hand grasping the bell
rope, the other a lamp, with his eyes
fixed toward the port. He spoke to him,
and there was no answer. He put his
hand on him and found that lie was
dead

The Mountain of the Holy Cross.

The Mountain of the Holy Cross is
one of the most celebrated peaks of the
Rocky Mountains. 1t towers amidst the
sublime scenery of Colorado, and upon
its summit. which is composed of gneiss,
two deep assures cut each other at right
angles, holding the snow in the form of
cross throughout the year. These
lines were suggested by the story of the
scattered mining wagons and the skele-
tons of men and horses which, some
years since, were found within sight of
this mountain.
The Lord himself hath set the signi-
Sweet Christ, forgivel" Gods servant
prayed;
And every head along the line
Of bronzed, rough-beerded men was bare
In sudden silence. as the prayer
Arose within the Mission glade.
Before, behind, the mountains stood;
In grim, defiant strength arrsyed.
They seemed an awful brotherhood
Through some gigantic passion knit;
Too great for earth, for heaven unfit
Sweet Christ, forgiver Gods servant
prayed.
And loi beyond the wild ravine,
Where lofty pines their gray arms toss,
A hoary mountain head was seen;
Whose assured crest forever shows,
EmblaZoned In eternal SHOWS,
The sacred emblem of the Cross.
And men who call the world accurst,
And men who had ne'er heard prayer,
Men who had dared and done their
worst,
Rode awe struck through the lenely
way,
what they fain would say,
With Christ's own sign before them
there.
Then slowly up the winding track,
rude procession swsyed;
Nor. though long summers waned, came
back.
Died they beneath the holy sign
Of earth-love. crowned by the divine.
I'VE hope-through Christi Gods SER
want prayed.
The Lord himself the sign hath setl
Was the Omniscient One afraid
Lest his far-straying SOUS forget?
Lest they who mid the mountains hide
Remember not the Cruci6ed p
Sweet Christ, forgiven Gods servant
praaed.

A SicklV Scheme,

The passage of so-called set Of resor
lutions by the Veterans Union of Des
Moines, Ia. has proven to be another
contemplate Democratic attempt to in
suit the Grand Army of the Republic.
The scheme was worked up and pushed
through by creature of the adminis>
tretion named Whitehead, backed by no
less parsonage than Pension Commits
sioner Black. his superior. The resolu+
tions were nothing less than 80 many
vile insinuations and dirty filings at the
ex-Union soldiers and very neatly
worded boom for Commissioner Black
for Vice President. Reports were sent
abroad to the Democratic newspapers
asserting that an immense mass meet
ing of Union veterans had been held at
Des Moines approving the Presidents
action in refusing to go to st. Louis,
when the fact of the matter is that all
these so-called mass meetings are In
Pension Examiner Whitehead's imagi-
nation, proving him to be the champion
liar of the Democratic prevaricators.
The Veterans union, which Whitehead
urged personally to pass the resolutions,
was represented to be an organization
numbering some hundreds but is actual
ly composed of just 81 ex-soldiers. This
is not the first time this man Black has
insulted the Grand Army of the Repuo>
lie directly or by insinustion. A short
time ago he dismissed special pension
examiner who dared express his opinion
of certain acts of the President. Will
he now dismiss Pension Examiner
Whitehead. who has openly violated the
rules of the department and dsbbled In
politics, by attempting TO work up
boom for his chief for Vice President
Probably not.
